The Queen was visiting Scotland and Alex Salmond called in for a chat.....
H.M.: "How nice to see you Mr Salmond."
A.S.: "Nice to see you Ma'am. Now, what are we going to call Scotland when we win Independence?
How about calling it a Kingdom, and then I'll be a King?"
H.M.: "No, we don't like that."
A.S.: "Alright, so how about calling it a Principality, and then I'll be a Prince?"
H.M.: .... (thinks).... "No Mr Salmond, I think we should call it a Country."
